Thousands of bicycles are stolen every day around Australia.
Many of these bikes are found by police but most bicycle owners never see their bikes again simply because the bicycle has not been marked and the owner cannot be identified.
Bikes that have been well secured with a good quality bicycle lock can be stolen by determined thieves.
There are a number of ways you can reduce the risk of having your bike stolen, prevent the opportunity for stealing your bike and steps you can take to recover your bike if it is stolen.
This Sunday from 3pm – 5pm, police from the North Brisbane crime prevention office will be co-hosting a bicycle identification and safety event with Sandgate Neighbourhood Watch groups.
This event will give community members the opportunity to have their bikes officially identified by police.

The event will be held on the corner of Flinders
